Data for this series is generated by combining data from benefit data from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and iwi affiliation information from the 2013 Census. This series includes individuals who are receiving the following benefit: Jobseeker Support (work ready) and the COVID-19 Income Relief Payment (CIRP).

The series is designed to provide insight to iwi on the change in benefit recipient numbers over time to help them understand and manage the impact of Covid-19. The key quality concerns with this data is the difficulty to link current MSD benefit data to the iwi population defined in the 2013 Census. Adjustments have been made to offset these effects, however this does mean that the proportion levels of people on a benefit for an iwi may not be accurate. The intention is to update these estimates once the 2018 census information is available which will provide a more accurate estimate of the benefit level for each iwi. The range of measures will also be expanded to cover employment and education.

The 2013 Māori descent population was used in this series to facilitate valid comparisons between the changes occurring for an iwi compared to the Māori descent population. This means that the benefit proportions for Māori reported in this series will differ to those reported by MSD in the benefit fact sheets.

The base population is aged 15+.

Note: This data is planned to change in the future when we swap 2013 Census to 2018 Census population data. This will affect the proportion levels but the trend should remain similar.

Note: Series are restricted to iwi with a population size greater than 100 in the 2013 Census and at least 20 people on a benefit due to confidentiality and volatility reasons.
